Discussion

  • Rich reports lots of activity/questions coming into the web site.  On service costs etc.  
  • Ned reports that Support Princeton Broadband has ordered lawn signs and these will be available next week to any interested parties.
  • Stan is out in Monterrey at request of Monica Webb, President of Wired West meeting with MBI.   
  • Ned outlined current FCC application.  We discussed whether to opt to for 30% funding up-front.  Chris indicated it might be better not to do this as it is an option used by telecoms that are completing some existing build, and new build applications are probably going to be favored.
